[Yak] 125 Most Influential People in American Cycling

[Lynette Chiang]

Hi Yaksters,
I got this little snippet from BF Club of Rhode Island leader John 
Rohland.
I'd say a nomination would sound better coming from The Fold rather 
than the Customer Evangelist, what do you think? (While you're at it, I 
visited MOMA in NY and saw a Moulton on display - let's start a 
campaign to have the TwinAir Tandem in there. At least it's American).
BF's might not have the ownership numbers of Trek and Cannondale, but 
what other bike can be found in the closet of former Bicycling Mag 
senior editors Fred Matheny, Ed Pavelka and Jim Langley 
(http://www.jimlangley.net), Lon Haldeman, Alexi Grewal, someone with 
the initials GL, World's Most Traveled Man Heinz Stucke 
(http://www.bikefriday.com/bf/heinzstucke), Phil Liggett of course, et 
al?
At the very least, be reminded that Alan Scholz designed that yellow 
and purple Burley Trailer!

Hi Lynette,

What do you think about starting a campaign for Hanz and Alan Scholz as 
a pair
of the Most Influential People in American Cycling?  I think Lon is a 
shoe-in:

The 125 Most Influential People in American Cycling
Who would make your list of the people who have wielded the most 
influence over
bicycling in the United States in the past 125 years? Would it be the
organizational builders such as Harmon and Burden, or industry leaders 
like Pope
and Terry? Is it high profile stars such as Madonna and E.T. or racing 
stars
like Lemond, Armstrong and Taylor? What about the pioneers of mountain
bicycling? Perhaps Messrs. Shimano, Colnago or Campagnolo should be on 
the list?
Submit Your Nomination

Regards,
John
